ENID & REBECCA
EEEEWWWW!
Enid lurches forward to avert her gaze. She clicks off the
VCR, but leaves the TV on. She notices a PHOTO ALBUM on a
bookshelf under the television.
ENID:
Hey - why do you have this?
REBECCA:
You lent it to me in like tenth grade.
ENID:
I've been looking all over for this.
ANGLE ON ALBUM as she leafs through it. We see a picture of
a FIVE-YEAR-OLD ENID with glasses.
ENID:
Look at how cute I am!
REBECCA:
What a little hosebag.
ANGLE ON PHOTO of ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD ENID & REBECCA at a party.
ENID:
Look, that's back when I hated you.
REBECCA:
I remember every minute of that party.
ENID:
(another page)
There's my dad with Joanie.
REBECCA:
I can never keep them all straight -
was she the super-b*tch?
ENID:
No, she was the second wife. The
third one was the super-b*tch -
Maxine.
(finds a picture)
There! Look at her!
ENID:
What a f***ing monster!
Something on TV catches Rebecca's eye.
REBECCA:
Oh my God! This is that comedian I
was telling you about! You have to
see this guy -- he's the absolute
worst!
A dead-pan comedian, JOEY McCOBB, is doing his stand-up
routine in a standard brick-wall comedy venue. He has a
contrived "I'm a weirdo" shtick.
JOEY:
Just because I live with my mother
people think I'm peculiar... so what
if she's been dead for fifteen years!
Hehn hehn...
(Peter Lorre laugh)
REBECCA (V.O.)
God, that's barely even a joke.
JOEY:
As I always say, take my life...
please!
ENID (V.O.)
If he's supposed to be so weird, how
come he's wearing Nikes?
ANNOUNCER:
Joey McCobb, ladies and gentlemen...
Joey McCobb!
(APPLAUSE)
ENID:
Joey McCobb is our God.
REBECCA:
I want to do him!
ENID:
I bet! Actually he reminds me of
that one creep you went out with --
you always go for guys with some
lame, fake shtick.
REBECCA:
What are you talking about -- who?
ENID:
That Larry guy -- what look was he
going for? A gay tennis player from
the forties?
REBECCA:
F*** you!
Rebecca turns the page of Enid's sketchbook to the torn-out
personal ad.
REBECCA:
Hey! We forgot to call the loser!
ENID:
Which loser?
REBECCA:
You know, the green cardigan guy.
ENID:
Oh yeah.
Rebecca goes to the phone and offers the receiver.
REBECCA:
You call.
ENID:
Why do I always have to do it?
REBECCA:
You're better at it.
ENID:
(as she dials)
I remember when I first started
reading these I thought DWF stood
for "dwarf!"
REBECCA:
(ear up to phone)
What does it stand for?
ENID:
Shh, it's his answering machine...
(pause)
We hear the indistinct traces of a
musical message followed by a faint
BEEP.
ENID:
Hi, it's me - your "striking blonde."
Of course I remember you. Let's get
together for lunch sometime... How
about Friday at one o'clock?... Why
don't you meet me at my favorite
restaurant, "Wowsville"... It's in
the mall on Century Parkway... I'll
see you there, darling... and be
sure to wear that sexy green
cardigan...
As Enid hangs up they both start laughing.
EXT. SIDEWINDER - DAY
A franchise convenience store with a western motif.
INT. SIDEWINDER - DAY
JOSH, 19, is taking his apron off as his BOSS, a humorless
Greek immigrant, counts out the cash register. Cheerful Muzak
plays.
BOSS:
AH AH AH! What you think you doing?
You still got five minutes left on
you shift!
